An Opportunity To Serve God

Dear Brothers and Sisters! :) It's been awhile since the last post by Sister Sihui. (Thanks hui! nd I miss you lots!) So, I though I'll share my article today. Well, it's an article I wrote for my office's newsletter. Well, it's raw but hope can understand my english? :)

Wanna take this opportunity to Thank ALL for helping me in my myanmar preparations and for your offering. I strongly believe that the people in Myanmar will benefit from all the love and efforts you had put in in this work. I also pray that God will bless all accordingly in His Time and Will.

Take care and I look forward to your fellowship now and for eternity! :)


I started working at ORTV in May 2009 as a Ministry and Resource Executive.
My job scope includes taking care of all the products we are selling and distributing to Singapore’s retailers. This includes marketing the products to create awareness and thus, generate an income (sales of the products) for our ministries.
At ORTV, we strongly believe that every product that is sold will be beneficial to them. Be it for Christians or non-Christians, they will experience God in one way or another.

All co-workers at ORTV are so lovely! They showed me much help and love to welcome into this ORTV family. For example, being in a bigger company in the past, we do not have the habit of greeting one another. But over here, it’s so nice to be able to greet one another in the morning and to say goodbye after work. I truly felt God’s love through and from my brothers and sisters in ORTV. We also spend time reading God’s words and to pray for one another every morning. What a great way to start the day that God has given!

Being educated in Singapore, I must say that my Chinese language has been put to second place. It’s really hard to speak and to write in Chinese and eventually, I came to neglect it. In short, I think my Chinese is bad.
Years ago, I heard a sermon by a pastor that makes me realized that there’s a reason why God made me a Chinese and put me in a Chinese church. There are many Chinese out there that will only hear of God’s words if only we, as Chinese Christians, are willing to share. Because of this, I began my service in going for mission trips to Myanmar to share God’s words to the children there. It is not easy but I prayed and persevered. Thank God for His grace and mercy, I am able to do it.
At the same time, I was exposed to more Chinese hymns and songs. Many Chinese songs had touched my heart but I was very reluctant to share them to my brothers and sisters in church because it takes me ages to type a song in Chinese! I continue to pray and ask God to guide me in this area and not long after, God brought me to ORTV. Chinese speaking co-workers, Chinese evangelistic rallies and Chinese music!
It is a challenge to know the products in Chinese and I am picking up the words slowly again. Once again, I thank God for guiding me through it so far in ways I cannot see! So when brothers and sisters asked me how’s my work in ORTV so far, I will tell them: ‘I enjoyed my work! Er, my Chinese… so far so good!’ *smiles*
Thank God for pathing a way for me to serve Him and thank all brothers, sisters, volunteers and co-workers for showing me patience, love and prayer support!

Lastly, allow me to share with you this passage in the bible:
1 Cor 1:26 - 2:3
Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord." When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling.

Do continue to keep me in prayers!

Be blessed,
Angela Tan (陈佩黎)
